Barcelona issues statement on Ferran Torres' health status

Yesterday, Spanish media began speculating about the future of Barcelona winger Ferran Torres, prompting the Catalan club to release an official update to the public.

Details: Barcelona announced that Torres successfully underwent an appendectomy yesterday. The procedure was carried out at a local hospital under the supervision of the club's medical staff.

The Catalan club did not specify a timeline for the winger's recovery, but he will definitely miss today's match against Espanyol. There is speculation that Torres could also be sidelined for Spain's Nations League fixtures in June, but Diario Sport refrained from making definitive statements. While this is a possible scenario, it is too early to draw any firm conclusions at this stage.

Reminder: The worrying news doesn't end there for the Blaugrana faithful, as during yesterday's training session, Pau Cubarsí also suffered an injury.
